Is Pregnancy Possible After IUD Placement?

I had an abortion 7/29/16 with an IUD inserted right away. Due to the heavy bleeding & clots it came out 8/4. I had my first depo shot 8/5/16 and unprotected sex 8/28 and 9/2. I haven t gotten my period since I stopped bleeding from the abortion so I took a pregnancy test 9/4/16 and it s positive. Should I believe I m pregnant since I got the depo shot?

Hello,

Pregnancy is unlikely.
You can simply go for a urine pregnancy test to check whether you are pregnant or not.
Consult a gynecologist for further assessment.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
